Weisfeld v. Scott
Petition for certiorari denied on February 21, 2023
Issue: Whether, in a suit
seeking prospective relief relating to the enforcement
of particular provisions of Texas’s election law,
Texas’s chief election officer may invoke sovereign
immunity solely because local officials carry out those
provisions day-to-day, or whether a state official’s authority over enforcement of the entire statutory
scheme is sufficient to trigger Ex parte Young’s exception to state sovereign immunity.
